Good side fight and breaking the fourth wall

Fire Force vol 26 by Atsushi Ohkubo

June 26, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

It’s pretty rare for a manga volume to focus on a side character and be this good; I actually didn’t miss Company 8, Shinra, etc. all that much. Then again, the backstory and fight focus on Benimaru is interesting enough but also kind of predictable way to get to know a little more about one of my favorite characters in the series. There’s actually just a little character growth shown, although again, not much of it all that surprising. The one thing I’d like to […]

Fun with the Fire Force

Fire Force, Vol. 20 by Atsushi Ohkubo

May 30, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Fire Force is an entertaining but somewhat mindless adventure manga series; one of the good things about it is that it doesn’t always take itself too seriously. In a world where human spontaneous combustion is a real threat and most of the world fell apart during a “Great Cataclysm” fire some years before the action starts, Fire Soldiers of the Tokyo Empire are there to do standard fire-fighting but also fight “Infernals”, basically fire monsters that are the result of someone spontaneously combusting. Company 8 […]

Fights, Feelings, Fire, and mostly Fun

Fire Force, Vol. 17 by Atsushi Ohkubo

April 26, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

One of the things I’ve really enjoyed so far about the Fire Force series is that it takes totally standard plots and characters, and makes them interesting and entertaining. Vol. 17 of the manga really shows off these qualities. The basic story and hero are straightforward: in a world where people often spontaneously combust into mindless demonic fire monsters, teen-age Shinra Kusakabe joins the Fire Force who help take down these monsters before the wreak too much havoc in order to both protect people and […]
